Recommendations

In the new online application system for Broadband within the Telecommunications Programs area, incorporate the ability to identify and track: (1) loans and grants made to Native American communities in SUTAs, and (2) whether SUTA provisions were applied to these loans and grans.

If the new online application system developed in Recommendation 1 is ultimately expanded to include RUS’ Electric, Water and Environmental, and other Telecommunications Programs, establish a timeline to incorporate the same automated tracking capabilities specified in the prior recommendation.
